About the book
In Allison Montclair's The Lady from Burma, murder once again stalks the proprietors of The Right Sort Marriage Bureau in the surprisingly dangerous landscape of post-World War II London...
In the aftermath of World War II in London, an unlikely partnership has formed to create The Right Sort Marriage Bureau. Miss Iris Sparks, with a secretive past in British intelligence, and Mrs. Gwendolyn Bainbridge, a war widow with a young son and complicated family ties, cater to clients looking for new beginnings in a changed world. However, their latest client presents a unique challenge - a terminally ill woman seeking a new wife for her husband after she passes away.
Soon after, the woman is found dead in Epping Forest, believed to be a suicide. But Sparks and Bainbridge are not convinced. Meanwhile, Bainbridge is fighting to regain control of her life from her conservator, who may not have had her best interests at heart. When the conservator is also found dead, Bainbridge becomes a prime suspect. Determined to uncover the truth behind the deaths and protect themselves and their clients, the resourceful owners of the Right Sort Marriage Bureau once again embark on a thrilling investigation.
